Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support and we apologize for the inconvenience.
Can you please share a screenshot of the 410 rule in question? Can you also clarify what you mean by “it does not work”, what exactly isn’t working correctly, can you describe the issue with a little more detail. You can share images with us by uploading them to an image hosting site like Imgur, and then sharing the generated URL with us here.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
For troubleshooting, please remove the slash on the source URL. It should be
Source URL: test123
And for the redirection to the homepage, please put your whole domain website URL in the destination URL.
Let us know how this goes.
Thank you.
Hi,
I have done what you suggested,
it created the 410 redirect and even records hits but when i paste the url into the
browser it is recorded as a 404:

Hello,
In this case, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/
You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/
We really look forward to helping you.
